I think that I’m glad you like them.

They are accomplishing your modification goals.

Strong work and keep on truckin’





QUOTE=SilverBolt;1222898]Wheel specs: 17X9.5" +22 offset. Weight per wheel 21.4lbs. Wheels are weight rated to 2500lbs. Weight savings over the factory cast wheel is just over 15lbs per wheel. I know the chrome (actually PVD) is not for everyone. Quite frankly I am not 100% I like it. I may end up having them powder coated if the finish does not grow on me. My goal was a light weight strong wheel, no fake beadlocks, not black, and easy to clean.

Walmart. Next to the spinner hubcaps.

Did I really just type that?

I’m just joking around!

Check out Summit & Jegs. They have the lowest prices currently.

Thanks,didyou search for what fit our 2017 raptor. I like the dark star[/QUOTE]

I search by the bolt pattern 6x135 and then the diameter. Narrowed down from there.

chrome on a Raptor = f'n absolutely hideous :doublepuke:

Maybe some fake carbon fiber wrap would help.

I like everything about the wheels except the look. The load capacity and the weight reduction are awesome! You must definately feel like you have more power due to easier rotation.

However, they are generic looking to me and I am not sure powder coating will change that. Just my opinion, but only yours mstter!

That's some serious weight savings - if the 10:1 formula is to be believed, 60lbs lost on rotational mass = ~600lbs sprung weight
